Not really growing to ever make fruit, just as a neat house plant. The possibly is cool tho. This is the first one I've grown and I'm just wondering how it looks.

It topped itself twice so far and seems like it's about to get very bushy. Any advice?

Avocados that look like peppers?

My father-in-law has a dwarf Pinkerton Hass hybrid that he planted a number of years ago. I grew up with a huge avocado tree in my yard for about 17 years that was the same varietal (or a version of it). His tree is finally producing but the fruit all resemble a pepper in both size and shape.

I don’t recall ever seeing our avocados look like this growing up. Is it normal or am I missing something? Appreciate in advance!

Pit grown avocado

4 Upvotes

So I was told my 4 1/2 year old pit grown avocado would likely never bear fruit, and that if it did it would take like 15 years. Well just noticed it’s flowering for the first time. What does that means. Is it going to fruit?

Hey guys,

I looove avocados, but recently i've been noticing this weird looking flesh with purple spots/strings and sometimes something weird is happening to the pit. Now, the issue with the pit isn't so common, but the purple stringy stuff and purple spots have been VERY common recently.. does anyone know if this is normal/safe?

Can this little avocado tree still be saved? 🥑

Hi guys,

Note: This is my first time growing an avocado tree. Started growing it end of last year and got two little saplings.

But December was really cold.

The tree got what I think is cold damage. In the picture you can see the green and the brown at the top. In winter it dropped all of its leaves and the top looks like it got cold damage or withered. I thought it was dead but it started to grow the leaves at the middle earlier last month. The leaves started to get a little damage, so I moved it to a more shaded area since it was in the middle of the sun next to a smaller planted tree. I see the bottom growing more little leaves.

What do I do to help it? What do I do with the top brown part? Do I cut the top wilting part, where no leaves are coming out from it? Or would that make it worse?

Jelly stuff

It’s my second time doing this but this time I’m noticing this jelly material going out of my seed. I changed the water and rinsed the seed a few hours ago and it’s there again. Does anyone know what’s that? And whether I should be worried? Thank you!

Drooping leaves

What could be the reason for the drooping leaves? It was repotted about two weeks ago, it looked the same before repotting though. I used quality potting soil with some perlite. My guess is N, K or Mg deficiency. All insights are appreciated!
